The account of Telegram messenger founder Pavel Durov on the social network TikTok is once again accessible to users. The entrepreneur's page was restored a few days after being blocked.
What Happened
According to TASS agency, access to Pavel Durov's account on TikTok has been restored. A correspondent from the agency personally confirmed this by checking the functionality of the page on the social network.
A few days earlier, the entrepreneur's account had been blocked. This presumably occurred after Durov's statements about the impact of short videos on users.
Reasons for the Blocking
Previously, the founder of Telegram publicly criticized the format of short videos. In his opinion, such content can negatively affect users' attention and cognitive abilities.
Durov also urged people to spend less time watching short clips.
Durov's TikTok Account
The entrepreneur registered on TikTok only at the beginning of 2026. Despite his relatively recent appearance on the social network, his account quickly began to gain an audience.
At the time of the blocking, about 156 thousand users were subscribed to Durov's page. After the account was restored, the number of subscribers increased and exceeded 160 thousand.
Conclusion
Thus, a few days after the blocking, Pavel Durov's account became available again on TikTok. The reasons for the initial restriction were not officially clarified.
